The nautical trend is hot for spring. However, you don’t have to start wearing striped tops or sailor dresses to get into this trend. You can do it subtly with a great pair of nautical shoes.
Partner nautical-inspired footwear with whatever you are wearing, from white eyelet dresses to crisp capris.

Tory Burch Two-Tone Elastic Espadrille Wedge
These shoes combine some of the season’s hottest fashion trends — the wedge heel and the nautical look. This navy/cream striped sandal can be paired with contrasting patterns (like polka dots or florals) for a unique spring style that can’t be beat. Get these Tory Burch espadrille wedges at Bergdorf Goodman for $175.00.
Sperry Top-Sider ‘Southport’ Slingback Wedge
Top-Sider deck shoes get a whole new look. These canvas slingbacks are highlighted by rope laces and a cork wedge heel. These nautical-inpired shoes are available at Nordstrom in your choice of ivory or black. Priced at just $89.95, these wedges are a fantastic buy.

Dexter Ahoy Boat Moc
For a casual, cute option, check out the Dexter Ahoy Boat Mocs from Payless. These adorable red shoes features a canvas upper and comfortable style. Originally $26.99, these nautical flats are on sale now for $16.99 in limited quantities at Payless.com.
